After the brutal massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki escapes with the aid of a few loyal retainers who also survived the purge. Among them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The somewhat eccentric Yorishige claims to be clairvoyant and predicts that Tokiyuki will one day rule Japan. For now, though, their priority is to escape enemy territory!

    The scene and main characters are set early. The interesting point of the story is Tokiyuki's fleeing abilities yet he’s suppose to be the new leader. The take home message is fleeing is about staying alive not dying. The story is fast pace and doesn't stay on anything too long. Battles are interesting and have focus. It's heavy with combat from talented individuals. Focus has been mainly on each character's natural talent, experience level, and quirks.

    The priest plays an essential role in Tokiyuki's journey, but he plays a similar yet very different role from Neuro or Koro-sensei in Matsui's other works(as of now). Ashikaga Takauji (Tokiyuki’s enemy) is supposed to be a "hero" of the story, but I see him as the villain in this story. I expected more supernatural, but it's been very limited as of chapter 91. There are only glimpses and foreshadowing. I feel there will be a lot of surprises in the future.

    From the mangaka of assassination classroom, so expectations are high but so far adequately met. Read up to Ch. 66 so far. Following the classic hero's story, the characters have fun quirks that border on the supernatural to support a displaced heir's return to power. Makes me curious if the series will end after the inevitable return to power or if the story will go into a repetitive state of big new enemy after the defeat of big old enemy. Art style and premise is interesting. There are dangers of introducing characters that will inevitably fulfill their one role in the story and never develop further, but the series is still relatively new so looking forward to future arcs.

    I think the art is kind of underwhelming. Interesting premise.

    The main character is young, and very believably written. I feel that his mentor-character is very strange. He has such weird expressions, and he's a bit too touchy-feely. Like, I don't know what his deal is. I really dislike that guy.
    The supporting cast, ie. the characters in MC's brigade are very lazily written and undeveloped. That guy that's supposed to be the big antagonist, his caretaker-turned-traitor, is really creepy and disturbing. So he seems like a good fit for a villain. Also, why did the author have to be so cruel towards the MC's fiance??? That seemed excessively cruel. She wasn't even a bad person or anything...just a little girl. Yet she gets killed so brutally. And the uncle character, man! For no reason, he was such a snake - willing to sell out his own nephew for profit. Who does that??
